Not only did Panda garner Grunewald’s attention, but she also gained the approval and even affection of the hard-to-please Simon Cowell, who says he absolutely loves her.

I don’t watch the X Factor, but after watching this clip, in which she wows the judges, walks off stage, begins wheezing and is promptly wheeled off on a stretcher — laughing and gabbing all the while — I love her too.
